It sounds like your cat may have hurt her tail when it was caught in the window, and her increased meowing could indicate that she's experiencing pain or discomfort.
- Monitor her closely for signs of pain or injury.
- Look for any signs of swelling, bleeding, or changes in her tail's position.
- Consider seeking veterinary advice if her behavior or symptoms change.
Cats often communicate distress through vocalizations like meowing more frequently. It’s possible that your cat's tail could have sustained an injury when it was caught. Carefully examine her tail for any signs of swelling, open wounds, or unusual posture. If she shows signs of significant pain, such as limping, difficulty moving, or you notice visible wounds or swelling, it would be best to consult a vet as soon as possible. Even if she seems fine now, keep an eye on her behavior and call a vet if her condition does not improve.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
